ABSTRACT

Damage to the tooth supporting bone is one of the most disturbing consequences of advanced periodontal disease. The functional stability of teeth with such advanced bone loss can be achieved by regenerative or resective procedures depending on factors like defect type, defect volume, tooth related anatomical factors, etc. Successful management of such teeth also mandates a multidisciplinary approach involving endodontic, restorative and prosthetic interventions, especially in case of multi-rooted teeth. Resective procedures in periodontal therapy aim at removing the hard tissue wall of the pocket and preserve part of the tooth instead of opting for tooth extraction. The article presents 3 cases reports of hemisection where the furcation areas of the involved tooth where beyond the scope of regeneration but were successfully treated with a resective combines with multi-disciplinary approach.

KEY WORDS: Hemi Section, Bone Regeneration, Tooth Preservation
